i guess both ways you will end up getting the same result- the patient's psoas and the lower abd muscles and fascia get tensed up and stretched. so i think its just two ways of eliciting the same thing. although i did it the way the guy does it in UW videos.
anyone else on this pls? i know i was not able to explain that well enough.

Both will do the job.. there is no "right" way to check for Psoas sign.
